Conrad Bass

I was given a Conrad (early'70s?) bass. It's got an SG body and short scale neck. Does anyone own or know anything about them? I'll post pics soon.
Thanks
Tim

I think it was sorta the JB Player of the time, knock offs of famous name instruments that weren't outright crap. I had a Conrad knockoff of the clear acrylic Dan Armstrong bass...

I got that one! It's a great bass. Red, shortscale, EB-3 style bass. Used it at many gigs and it has never let me down.

Fantastic! Thanks for the link. It was given to me by my brother in law who doesn't play ( it was originally his brothers who was killed in a car accident needless to say it means a lot to me. Thanks again
